Peurto Ayora is by far the largest town in the Galapagos with a population of 12,000. It is located on Santa Cruz island. The major industry, perhaps the only industry besides a bit of fishing, is eco-tourism. Hardly anyone owns a car on the island. People use bicycles, scooters, and taxis (white trucks) to get around. It costs one dollar to get anywhere in town by taxi and they are in abundance.
There is a short supply of water in Puerto Ayora. While there I showered in brackish water (a mixture of rain water and seawater). This is the main source of water for the town.
